    I need to get a set of locking wheel nuts, I'm surprised the car has lasted 7 years without the things getting whipped!

    Also, any ideas how much. I've tried Mick's Garage, Argos Catalogue and the online Halfords catalogue.

    Short of EBay any ideas?

    ebay. Seriously. That's where I last bought them after Halfords said €25. Took €6 (incl P&P) and a few days and I got the OEM ones.

    Restrict your search to the UK (assuming your republican party principles don't prevent you from doing so:D)

    Most tyre centres that sell alloy wheels will sell locking wheel nuts too.

    McGard are probably the best available, not sure if they ship them to Ireland though.

    It's an Astra (98-04) with a 4 nut wheel fitting. How do I find out the right size nut...if it's not already answered in the McGard link I just opened:D
